About CYJ Texas Retreat and Conference Center
 |
The CYJ Texas Retreat and Conference Center is the ideal site for our Level 1 training as its natural setting will allow us to focus on Qigong practice without distractions. CYJ's 240 acres of natural rolling terrain, 5-acre refreshingly cool lake, a wealth of oak trees, and dawn-grazing deer allow a setting for groups looking for a modern retreat center with a camp-like atmosphere. Located in historic Wimberley in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, just 40 minutes south of Austin and 1 hour from San Antonio. You will be able to get away from home without the hassle of traveling too far. |
